Kevin Holland is not exactly known as someone that's friends with many people in the UFC. He often brings the trash-talk into fights and that even trickles over to people like Sean Strickland.
Kevin Holland was recently asked about Sean Strickland and he did not hold back. The UFC welterweight has a lot of respect for his team but not for the fighter.
“Look, I love Eric (Nicksick) over there at Xtreme Couture. I love that gym, I think they’re awesome. But I absolutely do not like Strickland,” Holland told ESPN. “If you like Strickland, if you’re a fan of Strickland, you’re kind of awkward.”
“I don’t see how you can like that kind of guy. But I guess it’s like Trevor off of GTA (Grand Theft Auto). Everybody likes different characters. That’s why they gave you different characters.”
His complicated relationship with Sean Strickland and Xtreme Couture makes it interesting to see who he would be rooting for in Strickland's next UFC main event. It's actually quite simple for Kevin Holland.
“To be honest with you, I don’t want to go against Xtreme, so don’t want to go for a Strickland… who cares?
“Tune in March 5th when Kevin ‘Big Mouth’ comes back and fights. Other than that, who cares? February 12th, make sure you guys watch that, those are some good middleweight fights that are gonna happen. Robert Whittaker, hope to see him regain that gold, but nobody cares about Sean Strickland.”
ESPN tried to figure out what the beef was with UFC middleweight Sean Strickland. Kevin Holland wasn't having it and was quick to shut it down.
“Please don’t ask me about Sean Strickland,” Holland added. “I don’t like the guy. He gives me a bad mood for the whole day, I don’t like Sean Strickland.”
